These machines add together mechanical oscillations of various frequencies, phases and amplitudes by combining them through a set of pulleys or springs; one for each oscillator.
The magnetic detonator was sensitive to mechanical oscillations during the torpedo run and at high latitudes fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field.
Vibration refers to mechanical oscillations about an equilibrium point.
The term vibration is sometimes used more narrowly to mean a mechanical oscillation but sometimes is used to mean the same thing as "oscillation".
Any profession that uses any type of mechanical oscillation.
For those who got lost in the details, the short version: the device can convert a quantum state to mechanical oscillations and back.
RF usually refers to electrical rather than mechanical oscillations; however, mechanical RF systems do exist (see mechanical filter and RF MEMS).
The resonant oscillation is achieved by including the crystal into an oscillation circuit where the electric and mechanical oscillations are near to the fundamental frequency of the crystal.
The reduction in pull-out torque occurs when the stepping rate is less than the natural frequency of mechanical oscillations for the system, which can be determined from the results of Section 4.3.
The term vibration is sometimes used more narrowly to mean a mechanical oscillation but is sometimes used as a synonym of "oscillation".
